Who can blame her!
Be very careful with your back! I hope therapy works!
Sue it's funny that you just mentioned a pinch collar because I saw my first one last weekend. I was at the breeder's house with my daughter, Christiansmommy, and we were picking up little Dale. I told him that I had to use a Halti on Bella for her pulling. He said that used correctly it is fine but there have been reports of cervical (neck) injuries to dogs when used incorrectly. He showed me a pinch collar which he prefers and explained how it works. Since he breeds Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs I can certainly see how it would work well for them. He gave me a demonstration and I have to say it looks much worse than it actually is. Karen you might want to give it a try!

Sue, I had to laugh about your other post where you said Killian ran into you and it felt like you had been hit by a truck. Bella and I collided in the yard several months ago and she bashed into my knee. I saw stars! Every now and then I think I feel something sort of slide in that knee. Dogs should come with warning labels "Play with me - at your own risk!"
